CHAPTER XXI

It is common for sisters to borrow jewelry from each other, and it is also common for them to quarrel without borrowing.

Li Minglou is not within the scope of the sisters.

Her food and clothing made the sisters of the Li family envious, but no one thought of borrowing it, because everyone automatically drew a gap in their hearts, and she was different from them.

But it's the same now.

"She's not just an uncle's daughter anymore." Li Mingqi pointed to himself, "Just like us, we are all young ladies of the Li family, and we are all the same if we are young ladies of the Li family." ”

Li Minglou was originally the young lady of the Li family, Li Mingran nodded.

Li Minghua shook his head: "That's just what you think." ”

"Grandmother thinks so, too." Li Mingqi retorted, "If not, if it was before, would my grandmother come forward to help me borrow jewelry?" ”

No, Li Minghua was silent.

Li Mingran nodded: "Grandmother will beat you." ”

Li Mingqi gently pinched the bead string in front of him and swayed it slowly: "Since they are all young ladies of the Li family, they must all listen to their grandmothers, whoever is obedient will like them, as long as grandmothers like them, they can do anything, and the eldest lady should be sensible." ”

Li Mingran thought about it for a while, although she was young, her grandmother didn't like her very much, and let go of the idea of going to Li Minglou to see if she could borrow anything, in case she was beaten by her grandmother, she would be beaten by her mother.

Li Minghua nodded and admitted: "Grandmother doesn't like her, but she is about to leave home to marry Taiyuan Mansion, so far away, I can't see her once in a few years." ”

It doesn't matter if the grandmother likes her or not, Li Mingran nodded again.

"If you marry someone else's wife, it is also very important whether your mother's family likes it or not." Li Mingqi said unhappily.

Li Minghua laughed: "That's the case for you." ”

Everyone is like this, Li Mingqi pinched the round and soft string of beads, not to mention whether Li Minglou can marry or not.

When night fell, the lights were lit everywhere in Li's house, Kumquat put a lamp on the desk, and Li Minglou washed up and walked out, but he didn't come to write like before.

"Miss came back so early today, she is tired." Kumquat said with concern, "Let's rest tomorrow." ”

Li Minglou shook his head: "It's not that I'm tired. ”

She looked down at her arms, and although they were tightly wrapped in a car when they went in and out, they were still exposed to the blue sky and white sun for too long, and those wounds began to hurt and spread again.

Or maybe it's because she has stayed here for too long and has not gone to Taiyuan Mansion for a long time.

Can't rest, she doesn't have time.

Kumquat didn't persuade her to make the bed to rest again, and there was no girl left in the courtyard here, and the two of them didn't speak, and it was quiet inside and out.

Kumquat couldn't help but look back at Li Minglou's elongated figure under the lamp, she was still wrapped in her head and face at night, standing there without saying or moving, as if isolated from the world.

"Miss, I'm to blame for today's incident." She turned and knelt down.

After Gu's mother left with the jewelry, neither she nor Li Minglou mentioned this matter again, as if it had never happened, but the matter had to be resolved.

Li Minglou was interrupted from his train of thought, and after thinking about it, he realized what this girl with a self-reproachful face said, and shook his head: "What does the old lady have to do with you borrowing jewelry." ”

Kumquat knelt and raised his head: "It was the slave maid who was accidentally seen taking things, and the exposure of wealth caused this disaster." ”

Li Minglou laughed: "Your reasoning is not right. ”

The young lady actually laughed, and Kumquat was a little surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Minglou was also surprised by his sudden laughter, he just wanted to laugh, probably because this was really a funny sentence.

"My wealth is still exposed, and everyone knows that if it is not exposed." She raised her hand to Kumquat, "Get up and speak." ”

Kumquat got up, his expression was even more sad, even though the eldest lady's wealth was known to everyone, but no one dared to offend before, and now even a young lady's girl dared to do it.

This is no small matter.

"It's bullying Miss." Kumquat bowed his head.

Just like I had thought about it a long time ago, without Li Feng'an, Li Minglou's status in the Li family would have changed, and this kind of thing would never have happened before.

Li Minglou smiled, is this kind of thing between girls? She has never encountered it, comparing the degree of food and clothing, competing for the scenery of the past and the future, worrying about the dowry of her husband and mother-in-law, and the distance between relatives, all of which do not need her to bother, and she doesn't have to think about it.

She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, she is extravagant, she doesn't know what it means for others to have her own, even if she has encountered envious eyes, but those can't help her, and she can't even get close.

Li Feng'an is like this, and Li Feng'an is gone, and so is she in the Xiang family.

Although she died very miserably in the end, although the Xiang family secretly harbored different intentions, she had not been wronged at all in the past ten years.

Bullying, this is the first time that this word has been used on her.

"Miss, don't laugh." Kumquat sighed, "Everyone is looking at it today, she bullied Miss but was not punished, then everyone can bully Miss from now on." ”

Li Minglou said: "Why? ”

"Because the old lady protects her." Kumquat looked at Li Minglou with a sad face.

Poor eldest lady, a child who had just lost her father, could not have imagined that her grandmother would treat her like this.

"Miss, the old lady is the biggest in the family, and everyone in the family watches the old lady behave." The words of unfilial piety have been spoken, and Kumquat has no scruples, "The old lady doesn't like you, then everyone doesn't like you and will bully you, Miss Qi borrows the beads today, and the other ladies will come to borrow it tomorrow, and the next thing is to rob it." ”

It seemed that this was a very interesting thing, and Li Minglou laughed again.

"Miss." Kumquat stomping.

Li Minglou stopped her and wanted to persuade her again: "I understand what you said, I have not been wronged, and I will not be wronged, so I don't have to worry about this." ”

Kumquat looked at Li Minglou standing in the shadow of the room, so what should I do? The best way is for the eldest lady to please the old lady, so that the old lady likes her and protects her, and no one is allowed to bully her.

But at the thought that the young lady was going to do this, Kumquat felt no joy in her heart, only sadness.

In this world, except for parents, there is no unconditional liking for no reason.

"I don't need to like it for no reason, I just need to like it." Li Minglou said, "I'll solve it tomorrow, let's rest." ”

Can it be solved tomorrow? Kumquat was a little expectant and a little uneasy.

She didn't want Miss to please the old lady, and she didn't want Miss to cry in front of people, no matter how she thought about it, there was no decent way to solve it.

She was worried, Li Minglou had already gone to bed and lay down, Kumquat didn't dare to disturb anymore so she turned off the lights and retreated, she couldn't sleep tonight.

Many people can't sleep tonight, they are talking about it, and many people have already guessed that there will be such a day, but they didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"Mother wasn't very happy." Zuo said to Li Fengchang, "Xian'er is too angry with her these days. ”

Li Fengchang was not interested in these things in the inner house, but he understood it in his heart, and shook his head: "Xian'er is still young, and she has encountered so many things, what does the mother care about with the child." ”

Li Fengchang can privately say that his mother's is not, Zuo's can't, and smiled euphemistically: "Mother also wants Xian'er to be close." ”

"Take your time." Li Feng often yawned, a string of beads is just a trivial matter, "You can coax them more, rest, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow." ”

A string of beads in the inner house is not a trivial matter, and the men are too lazy to understand it if they are not in it, Zuo Shi smiled and did not say anything more about this topic.
